Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Florian Weimer discovered that UDisks incorrectly handled certain long path names. A local attacker could use this issue to cause udisks to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service.Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
